Hi Wouter,
<div class="moz-forward-container"><p class="">are you sure that the audio files you are using for your own
gme files are in a format the pen supports?</p><p class="">Try to convert the files with ffmpeg to ogg 22050khz mono like
this:</p><p class="">ffmpeg -i 'source_file.mp3' -ar 22050 -ac 1 'target_file.ogg'</p><p class="">If that works, and you prefer to use the mp3 format (which will
improve the audio quality when using headphones), you may need
to re-encode the files try:</p><p class="">ffmpeg -i 'source_file.mp3' -c:a libmp3lame -b:a 192k
'target_file.mp3'</p>
Good luck,
<p class="">Till<br class="">

<div class="">Hello Till,</div>

<div class="">Thanks for your suggestion. I tried that this
week after reading about it in an earlier post. I tried
disconnecting without unmounting again today, but it still
makes no difference.</div>

</div>
<div class="">For your information: every time I disconnect
the Tiptoi, it automaticaly switches off. After turning it
on it tells me to "wait a moment", about 2-3 second pause,

<div class="">I have not seen any differences in this
behaviour, no matter what OS I use or how many files I

I had a similar behavior, when there was more than
one gme file with the same product-oid on the pen at
the same time. Please ensure that there is only one
file and restart the pen after that, because it
seems that there is some hashing or mirroring during
boot phase.<br class="">

Maybe this helps - hopefully <br class="">

<br class="">
I was looking forward to making my own scripts and
being able to print oid-codes for use with the
Tiptoi pen.<br class="">
I think I covered the basics before buying my
first pen:<br class="">
1: being able to write code and converting it to a
.gme file using tttool<br class="">
2: being able to print the oid-codes that are
readable by the pen<br class="">
All these steps are working just fine.<br class="">
<br class="">
But the problem is that after copying the .gme
files to my pen, it only reads the original
Ravenburgers .gme files, and not the .gme files
created by tttool.<br class="">
<br class="">
I've tried a lot of things to figure out where
this problem is coming from. But so far it feels
like there is some sort of copyprotection at work
which recognizes the difference between the
original and a modified .gme file.<br class="">
I'm running out of ideas and hope that maybe
someone can help me out here.<br class="">
<br class="">
<br class="">
Here is a bit of extra information:<br class="">
The Tiptoi pen I have is without playback buttons
and without recording option. It is brand new, I
bought it a week ago. It has 8GB of USB memory and
I assume the processor is the 3203L. The hardware
looks like a generation 2 (horizontal volume
buttons), but it does not have the player buttons
on top.<br class="">
<br class="">
The file 'LanguageInfo2.txt' tells me:<br class="">
5<br class="">
999 GERMAN Update3203L.upd<br class="">
998 FRENCH Update3203L_fr.upd<br class="">
997 DUTCH Update3203L_nl.upd<br class="">
996 ITALIAN Update3203L_it.upd<br class="">
995 RUSSIA Update3203L_ru.upd<br class="">
994 ENGLISH Update3203L_en.upd<br class="">
<br class="">
The file '.tiptoi.log' tells me:<br class="">
TW153238ˇˇˇˇˇˇˇˇ2D0013����ˇˇˇˇˇˇDUTCH�����ˇˇˇˇˇˇ3203L�����ˇˇˇˇˇˇ<br class="">
<br class="">
I've tried copying .gme files to the pen and
printing their respective product-id as oid-code,
and then:<br class="">
- assembling the Debug.yaml using tttool, <br class="">
FAIL, audio message: "first download the audio
files to the pen..."<br class="">
- creating my own .yaml file with product-id and
only one script to play a sound, <br class="">
FAIL, audio message: "first download the audio
files to the pen..."<br class="">
- downloading pre-assembled 'stepseq.gme' and
'TipMaster-0.9.1.gme', <br class="">
FAIL, audio message: "first download the audio
files to the pen..."<br class="">
- downloading several .gme files from de
Ravensburger website, <br class="">
SUCCES, audio message: "welcome to this book..."<br class="">
<br class="">
<br class="">
I hope that someone can at least point me in a new
direction and tell what to try next. If someone
needs more information, please let me know.<br class="">
<br class="">
<br class="">
<br class="">
kind regards,<br class="">
Wouter<br class="">
